UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 is the Cisco UCS VIC 1455, a quad-port 10/25G SFP28 PCIe Virtual Interface Card for Cisco UCS C-Series M5 and M6 Rack Servers. It presents Ethernet NICs or FCoE HBAs to the host through service-profile policy, with 256 virtual interfaces available before operating-system limits. As a Cisco C225 M6 network adapter, the card fits riser 1, 2, or 3, and C225 M6 plug-in VIC use is in risers 1 and 3. The same PCIe form also fits C125 M5, C220 M5/M6, C240 M5/M6, C240 SD M5, C245 M6, C480 M5, C480 ML M5, C4200 and S3260 M5. UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 is the 40/100G QSFP28 PCIe sibling for buyers moving beyond 25G per port.

4 x 10/25G SFP28 ports connect to Cisco SFP+/SFP28 optics, direct-attach copper, or active optical cables at the speed the far end presents. PCIe 3.0 x16 host connectivity gives the Cisco UCS VIC 1455 its rack-server path, and the half-height PCIe card draws 27.4W maximum. 256 virtual interfaces create independent NIC or HBA personalities, while roughly eight interfaces stay reserved for internal use. RoCEv2, iSCSI boot, SR-IOV, usNIC, VM-FEX, DPDK, NetFlow, GENEVE, VXLAN and NVGRE are the feature set to match in the service profile. UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 needs UCSM Release 4.0(1a) minimum with VIC firmware 5.0(1c), or standalone Cisco IMC Release 4.0(1a) minimum with the same VIC firmware.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with 30 days on every condition; terms apply. New sealed units carry up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year. Certified refurbished cards are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host, and every port links at rated speed. Cisco stopped selling Cisco UCS VIC 1455 on 15 July 2026, so specify the exact PID, riser plan and Cisco optics or cables before the PO. UK, EU, US and MEA regional stock/RMA, RMA with advance replacement, PO accepted and Net-30 for government apply.

A buyer replacing a failed C225 M6 plug-in VIC needs the same PCIe form and the same 10/25G SFP28 cabling plan. UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 matches the VIC 1455 identity used in service profiles. Before the PO, confirm riser 1 or 3 on the chassis label or running inventory.
A C225 M6 expansion build with three risers can select PCIe option cards in risers 1, 2, and 3, but plug-in VIC use is limited to risers 1 and 3. UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 keeps 25G SFP28 ports in the 1400-series VIC family. Before the PO, match the riser plan and cable PIDs.
A rack server moving LAN and FCoE traffic through Fabric Interconnects needs SFP-25G-SR-S optics or SFP-H25G-CU1M through SFP-H25G-CU5M cables on every SFP28 port. UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 uses 6300 series FI at 4x10G, 6400 series FI at 4x10G/25G, and 6536 FI at 4x25G. Before the PO, match the FI family and UCSM release.
mLOM or OCP placement
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 occupies a C225 M6 PCIe riser, not the mLOM/OCP 3.0 slot. C225 M6 10/25G mLOM builds take UCSC-M-V25-04.
100G uplink requirement
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 tops out at 25 Gbps per SFP28 port. C225 M6 40/100G PCIe uplinks take UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 in a riser slot.
200G uplink requirement
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 does not provide 200G ports. C225 M6 riser 1, 2, or 3 takes UCSC-P-V5D200G for dual 40/100/200G connectivity.

UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 is the Cisco UCS VIC 1455 Quad Port 10/25G SFP28 CNA PCIE, a PCIe Virtual Interface Card for C-Series M5 and M6 rack servers. PCIE marks the riser form, and C25Q-04 is the quad 10/25G VIC 1455 ordering string. UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04= is the spare form, and UCSC-PCIEC25Q04-RF is Cisco-remanufactured.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 fits C125 M5, C220 M5, C220 M6, C225 M6, C240 M5, C240 M6, C240 SD M5, C245 M6, C480 M5, C480 ML M5, C4200, and S3260 M5. C225 M6 places the card in riser 1, 2, or 3, with plug-in VIC use in risers 1 and 3.
A C225 M6 uses UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 as a quad-port 10/25G SFP28 PCIe VIC in a riser slot. Other C225 M6 VIC riser choices are UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 for 40/100G QSFP28, UCSC-P-V5Q50G for 10/25/50G SFP28, and UCSC-P-V5D200G for 40/100/200G.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 has 4 x 10/25G SFP28 Ethernet and FCoE ports, a PCIe 3.0 x16 host interface, 27.4W maximum power, and 167.6 mm depth x 63.5 mm width x 13.5 mm height. The card is half-height PCIe and uses the Cisco UCS custom ASIC.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 provides four SFP28 ports rated for 10 Gbps or 25 Gbps per port. The far end must match the selected 10G or 25G Cisco optic, direct-attach copper cable, or active optical cable. UCS-FI-6536 does not run 10G connectivity to this VIC family.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 works with Cisco 25G SFP28 optics such as SFP-25G-SR-S, SFP-25G-SL, SFP-10/25G-CSR-S, and SFP-10/25G-LR-S. Copper choices include SFP-H25G-CU1M, SFP-H25G-CU2M, SFP-H25G-CU3M, SFP-H25G-CU4M, and SFP-H25G-CU5M. Third-party cables and transceivers do not bring up the link.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 uses C225 M6 riser 1, 2, or 3 as a half-height, half-length single-slot PCIe option card. A three-riser C225 M6 can select up to three PCIe option cards. Plug-in VIC use is limited to risers 1 and 3, with an mLOM VIC as another VIC option.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 needs UCSM Release 4.0(1a) minimum with VIC firmware 5.0(1c), or standalone Cisco IMC Release 4.0(1a) minimum with the same VIC firmware. C225 M6 has a Cisco IMC 4.2(1) minimum floor. Management runs through UCS Manager, Cisco IMC, or Intersight.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 does Ethernet, FCoE, and RoCEv2 RDMA. The card can present PCIe interfaces as NICs or HBAs, and the 1400/14000 VIC feature set carries SR-IOV, usNIC, DPDK, VM-FEX, NetFlow, GENEVE, VXLAN, NVGRE, and iSCSI boot.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 is the base PCIe VIC 1455 PID, UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04= is the spare order form, and UCSC-PCIEC25Q04-RF is the Cisco-remanufactured form. Certified refurbished condition is separate from Cisco-remanufactured product because certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested by ORM in a compatible host.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 is the PCIe VIC 1455 for C125 M5, C220 M5/M6, C225 M6, C240 M5/M6, C240 SD M5, C245 M6, C480 M5, C480 ML M5, C4200, and S3260 M5. UCSC-M-V25-04 is the VIC 1467 mLOM for C220 M6, C240 M6, C225 M6, and C245 M6. Choose by the chassis slot.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 provides four 10/25G SFP28 ports. UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 provides two 40/100G QSFP28 ports in the same C-Series and S3260 M5 PCIe host family. UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 suits 10G or 25G fabric ports, while UCSC-PCIE-C100-04 suits 40G or 100G uplinks.
UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 is the VIC 1455 quad 10/25G PCIe card with the broad C-Series M5/M6 and S3260 M5 host list. UCSC-P-V5Q50G is a C225 M6 PCIe VIC 15425 option with quad 10/25/50G ports. Choose UCSC-P-V5Q50G when the C225 M6 build needs 50G SFP28 links.
Cisco stopped selling UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 on 15 July 2026, and the last ship date was 15 October 2026. Cisco has not announced a last date of support for UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04. C225 M6 and C245 M6 host sales ended on 18 June 2026, and their last date of support is 30 June 2031.
ORM offers UCSC-PCIE-C25Q-04 new sealed and certified refurbished. New sealed units carry up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host, and every port links at rated speed.
